Flip the list, skip a few, and that would make a decent top five.

100. The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
98. Yes - Close to the Edge
97. Wire - Pink Flag
89. Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
88. T. Rex - Elecric Warrior

It's a pity there isn't more info about how the list was compiled and how the MB ratings were collected. Is it just a list of most-played or something?

Although it's a predictable response to write in and say, "Why didn't you put my fave artist in?" anyone who makes a list and labels it "best of all time" should expect a bit of blowback.

My biggest criticism is that some big names are over-represented (Floyd, Beatles, Bowie) which means that many worthy artists haven't made the list at all.

Where are The Beach Boys, The Allmans, Tangerine Dream, Genesis or Soft Machine ?
I also would've thought that Astral Weeks, American Beauty, Bookends should've been in there too, as exceptionally fine albums.
That's 8 artists right there who don't make the list at all.

Finally, John Coltrane, A Love Supreme is the only jazz album in the list, afaik. If jazz is an included genre, is that really the only "best album" the genre ever came up with?
And finally finally, I wouldn't've put Pink Moon in the list myself; Nick Drake's other albums are better imo.

Yes, the real problem with the list is its grandiose title. It should really be a more modest but more accurate:-
"Most Popular Rock Albums in America (From Boomers To Millennials)"

Ja it leaves a lot to be desired. What OP did was take the top 100 rated albums on rateyourmusic at the time of their post (the chart is different 10 years later) and showed how many of them were rated by mb members with rym accounts. Not sure how they chose the worst albums.
